I just got home from work, and rewatched the "Teagate" incident and the aftermath. Jen did NOT make a big deal of it, in fact afterwards, she was baiting him at the hot tub, you could tell they were both trying not to laugh. She said something about how her drs always say she loves ev1 in the house, pause, including him! You could tell Dick was trying so hard not to laugh. Jess was there, and she said earlier it wasn't that big of a deal, and speaking of Jen not to start something, if you don't want to finish it. Sounds like a whole tempest in a teapot to me.

I don't view Dick as violent. Loud, obnoxious, belligerent, in-your-face and verbally offensive?...absolutely. But I think jumping to violent is a mighty big leap from there... I've experienced a violent man... Dick doesn't even come close. ETA: "Teagate"... I LOVE IT!!

Sorta can't forget his late night comments that Jen needed to be "f----- in the a-- until she bleeds", and the lovely "Jen needs a Draino d--che". Teagate is just another notch in his manly belt. I don't care how many damned crocodile tears he sheds over his relationship with his daughter. IMO, his actions are deplorable.

But remember, Dick saying those things is her fault. I forget why exactly, but I'm sure someone will enlighten me. It appears that <57>, Jen is responsible for her own actions, and Dick's as well. Dick is responsible for nothing. He's only 44, you know. Plus, he's so cool and honest, and all.

It appears that BB did warn Dick about making comments about what he would do to Jen outside the house. It makes sense to me to boot him if he continues to make comments/threats of what he would do to her once they're out - that's beyond the scope of the game.

Guine... Apparently, 44 is practically a doddering ancient perverted old man. I dunno since when, but I guess since BB8 began.

I see a scenario where Dick is booted next week and on the way out of the house he socks Jen. I just hope CBS has a policeman there to cuff him and take him to jail.

I'm watching the ShoToo from last night and I am friggin APPALLED at Dick's behavior. I wasn't a huge Dick fan anyway...but I think that the way he was talking to Jen was just way over the top. Kudos for her for maintaining her cool. I definitely wasn't a Jen fan but I hope she gets some retribution from this.

No, Costa, 44 is an adult. Well into adulthood. Decades into it. Old enough to be considered responsible, one would think, for one's own behavior. But apparently not, if one is "baited" or "provoked" or if the object of one's wrath is "asking for it." I will be 38 later this month, so I sure hope 44 isn't ancient. That would make it a little too close for comfort.

One thing I wonder about all of the "Jen had it coming to her" business - this all started because Dick was angry after the Veto ceremony. That's the source of his wrath, right? I still don't get how people justify him being so angry in the first place. Jameka chose to veto Jen, for her own reasons, either ethical or strategic (when she made the promise, she apparently hoped it would end with Zach being put up). How did Jen deserve him ripping in to her? Do people agree that she did something horrible *if* she did in fact throw the comp? Because that's always been considered by most viewers to be a legitimate strategical move, in the past. I'll be interested to see the show tonight to see if she if it looks like she did throw it. I don't understand why she would; why put her fate in Jameka's hands when she could control it herself? But if she did, then the veto would've gone exactly the same - Jen off, Nick up. So how do Dick's fans justify his original tirade? Especially in light of the fact that it was Dick himself who pushed for Nick to go up? I won't try and understand Dick's logic, as that would undoubtedly lead to a brain hemorrhage from all the pretzel-like twisting my mind would have to do, but since there are a number of people here who love and apparently understand Dick way better than I do, I'd appreciate some insight into how it was Jen's fault that Jameka vetoed her, and why she deserved to have him go off on her in the bedroom after the veto ceremony.* *This is a sincere question - I'm not trying to start up. I'm really curious.

A 44 year old man doesn't tell a 23 year old woman that she needs to bleed in that area. It's just not very nice. Or stable. Or acceptable. Not in a game. Not in real life. Not joking. Not ever. I can't remember any player I've liked less than this one. <57>

Guinevere , my impression was that the POV competition had to do with trading gifts for the POV or something. BB has done comps like that before....bribing the HGs to lose the POV or accepting an offer from the HG (like all month on slop) for winning it. I do think Jen threw the comp because I think I read that she won a prize. (I am assuming you win the prize by "giving in" the bribe.) After the comp, everyone was angry with Dustin because he had told his allliance to really work HARD because they HAD to win the POV. Then Dustin decided to throw it in exchange for a trip to some island!! (Barabados or Aruba I think) Dick got mad at Jen for throwing the challenge to win a prize, knowing that Jameka would save her. (Jen already had a promise from Jameka to use the POV to save her.) IF Jen found a way to actually throw the POV to Jameka, that was a GREAT move! Jen wins a prize and also gets taken off the block by Jameka. If they couldn't see what one another were doing during that competition, Jen took a huge risk to just hope jameka would win it and save Jen. Bottom line - That had nothing at all to do with Dick. Dick was just mad because Jen got off the block. Dick wasn't going off on Jameka for using the POV to save Jen.....he just got mad at Jen for being saved! Jen did absolutely NOTHING wrong when it came to the POV comp. Jen was in jeopardy.......if she really did throw the comp, Jen didn't risk anyone but herself. It made no sense for Dick to get upset with Jen over that. That's why I think the POV was just Dick's excuse to rev up his ongoing attack on Jen. (I guess I'll see the comp tonight....I hope I didn''t mangle the facts too much! I only know what others here have posted about it.)

San, I totally agree with you...great post. The only thing I am not sure about is whether Jen got any prize at all. I thought I heard Dustin say that he took all the prizes and that Jameka could have taken the $5,000 but honored her word instead?!? I can't wait to watch the show to find out tonight :-).

When I read of some of the vile things Dick has said, the likes of Howard Stern and others come to mind. I think Dick is saying those things for the shock value. I know it doesn't excuse it, but I think that's part of it.

Just imagine the kind of person you would have to be in order to say those kind of vile, abusive, and violent things to someone not once, not twice, but over and over again. Even in a game....could you do it? What kind of person has thoughts like that? And then verbalizes them.

Wow. Having seen the POV, Jen probably did throw it but she sure did not get any prize for it. It was a very fair play on her part.

Once again, the show was NOT edited accurately, IMO. Jimmer, I agree. Dustin was the only one who seemed to get that if Jen didn't buzz in, either Jessica or Dustin could have and kept noms the same. I thought it was a very smart move!!!

Milosmom, from your take on the after math of "teagate" when Dick & Jen were in hot tub, it sounds like they could be in an alliance. Haha, that would be so funny. So she didn't even seem mad? Hmm, all I can say is she has one tough outer shell and I hope she is ok on the inside.

See, I didn't think Dick looked like he was trying not to laugh. I thought he was seething with anger. He held his mouth tightly shut, nostrils flaring, and he was kind of stumbling over his words. He was very upset that she refused to stoop to his level and throw insults back at him.

Exactly, Junerose - Dick was "seething with anger". He was talking to Jen with his eyes filled with hate, not amusement.
